Is this razor made of stainless steel, brass, or something else?

Good afternoon Mr. Faro - The butterfly razor is brass with Chrome plating. Hope this answers your question - enjoy the day!

The blade says its stainless steel but it is magnetic so it is not a very high quality stainless. However it is sturdy and the handle has a very nice feel. It is a double bevel blade and can be sharpened with a hand held kitchen knife sharpener. Beth uses it everyday and loves it.

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

Its made of 420 stainless. Hold an edge like you would believe. I also have the SOG tomohawk. It is great for the second Axe. It does with a!quick release sheath. Check it out, they complent each other.

Yes it is. The boxes in which the razors are packaged say that they are made in Sheffield, England. I own 3 Edwin Jagger safety razors and they are of the highest quality. I can't say enough good things about them. The shave is the best of all my razors.

This is a cast razor. If you over tighten it or drop it, it will break. However, I've found that some good oil (I used some special purpose gun lubricant) on the threads will keep it from sticking and breaking when you unscrew it.The only thing you can do about the dropping part is get a stainless Merkur or a brass Parker instead. They both make fine razors depending on your needs and desires.

Chinese Stainless Steel, which goes through the handle. Needed to be sharpened out of the box, the handle slips out of your hands easily, and is a bit uncomfortable...looks menacing, in and out of the sheath.

Razor is 100% English made, you cant go wrong purchasing this fine piece of craftsmanship.

None of the razor is made of plastic that I'm aware of. I threw it out so can't look at it now. I would not buy this.. really. The hinges were cheaply made and or assembled. For what I paid I would expect it to last at least 5 - 10 years.

Yes it is a real 404 stainless steel blade... It is not sharp but can hold an edge if sharpened. The handle is made of plastic. The top cap of the handle is made of aluminum. The face of the sword is also made of aluminum. And the... "wings" on each side are made of plastic. It's not something you'd want to swing around. It's meant for decoration.

The handle is metal and very sturdy. However there are plastic attachment tabs that clamp onto the replaceable blade, and if you drop the razor these tabs can break off so be careful.

Iron rusts. This razor is not made of iron. Its made of pot metal and chrome plated. What you have to worry about is not proper cleaning the soap off it and drying it, and you need to worry about dinging it and chipping the chrome, or dropping it and the head breaks off at the threads.Im worried about my chrome razors also. Chrome does not last forever, so i was thinking about getting a Feather, or an Above The Tie, or an Ikon Stainless steel razor.Still, for $33, its a good buy anyway. Razorock razors are just as good and are chrome over brass, which is better than Murker, Edwin Jagger, Parker, Muhle, or most others between $30-60, and the Razorock is $19.99- $24.99. Iron rusts.

I have no idea and don't care. A fastener on my metal razor broke and left me with a large supply of blades. Fortunately I had a plastic one in my Dopp Kit. I looked for a replacement in the stores to know avail. Found this one on Amazon, but it had to be part of a larger purchase. To me this is the best razor Gilette ever made. Tossed my mach 3 When I ran out of blades. I have a supply of sensor blades purchased on clearance that should last longer than 3 years. By the way, the plastic razor I purchased is heavier than the plastic one that was in my Dopp Kit.

It was shipped to me out of Whitefish, Montana whether it is made there is another question. Yes it is chromed and made of high quality and it is comparable to the quality of the Mekur and other Euro made razors. I am glad I chose it and am highly satisfied.

They are stainless steel, but have not counted the blades, but seems close. Whatever the number, it does a great job.

the blade appears to be stainless, but as I only used mine for a week I can't say how long it will hold up. I've had cheap stainless tools that have rusted with exposure to the salt water, and I've had higher-quality tools (e.g. Myerchin) strapped to the mast all year without showing any corrosion.

It's not made from stainless steel. Chrome plated. Very solid. This is a life time razor. I will never go back to multi blade razors. Very solid unit.
